Australia vs Oman Highlights, T20 World Cup 2024

Match Summary

In an exciting T20 World Cup match, Marcus Stoinis delivered an impressive all-round performance to help Australia secure a 39-run victory over Oman on Thursday in Barbados. This Group B clash saw Australia start their campaign on a winning note.

Australia’s Innings

After being asked to bat first, Australia found themselves in trouble at 50/3. Stoinis then played a crucial role, smashing a 36-ball 67 to lead Australia to a total of 164/5 in their 20 overs. He was well-supported by David Warner, and together they put up a century partnership, with both players reaching half-centuries.

Oman’s Run Chase

Oman’s chase never gained momentum, as Australia’s collective bowling effort, led by Stoinis with a 3-wicket haul, proved too strong. Despite a valiant effort, Oman managed only 125/9 in their 20 overs, giving Australia a comfortable victory.

Australia’s Ambition

With this win, Australia aims to secure their third major trophy within a year and become the first team to simultaneously hold the World Test Championships, the 50-over World Cup, and the T20 World Cup.

Player of the Match

Marcus Stoinis:
“Nice start, some cobwebs for us, but good to get the win. We were just looking to try and hit the ball along the ground hard at the start. Spin was harder to face, was keeping low but the new ball was tough as well.”
